Cone Game

• Split into two teams (can do more, but for the most competitive play, two is best) with 5 pucks per team, and set up a line of cones 5 in front of each team. Cones should be spaced at least 5 feet apart, but can be more or less depending on the team, skill level, and learning objectives.
• Players will take turns for their team, skating to a cone and balancing a puck on a cone. They can only move a puck forward one cone at a time.
• They cannot stack pucks until they have one puck on each cone.
• The objective is to get all 5 of their pucks stacked on the last cone and make it back to their team.
• If a puck falls, they must stop and reset it before returning to their team.
• They must be fully returned to their team before the next person can go.
• For the cognitive awareness part… Players may choose to either move their puck forward (be offensive) or move one of their opponent’s pucks backward (be defensive). 
• If moving an opponent’s puck, you can only move one cone and one puck at a time. You can stack pucks defensively, even if they have not put all 5 pucks on a cone yet. You can also move a puck off the first cone and place it at the feet of their team.

PLAY EXAMPLE

• A1 places a puck on the first cone.
• A2 cannot place a puck on cone 2, they must move the puck from cone 1 to cone 2 to open a free cone.
• A3 can now place a puck on cone 1 OR move the puck on cone 2 to cone 3.
• Play continues moving pucks one cone at a time and placing pucks on open cones. Once there are 5 pucks (one on each cone) now players can begin to stack their pucks, but can still only move pucks one cone at a time.
• Team A wins if they get all 5 pucks stacked on their last cone before the other team.
• At any point, a player from team A may choose to move an opponents puck back one cone instead of moving their pucks forward.
